Food Stabilizers Industry

Comprehensive Study on Food Stabilizers Industry


Food additives are substances added to foods to preserve their flavor or improve their taste, appearance or other qualities. Some additives have been used for centuries; for example, preserving foods by marinating (with vinegar), salting, as with bacon, preserving candies or using sulfur dioxide as with wines. With the advent of processed foods in the second half of the twentieth century, many other additives were introduced, both natural and artificial. Food additives also include substances that can be introduced into foods indirectly (called “indirect additives”) in the manufacturing process, through packaging, or during storage or transport.

To regulate these additives and inform consumers, each additive is assigned a unique number called an “E number”, which is used in Europe for all approved additives. This numbering system has now been adopted and extended by the Codex Alimentarius Commission to internationally identify all additives, whether approved or not.

E numbers are all preceded by an "E", but countries outside of Europe only use the number whether the additive is approved in Europe or not. For example, acetic acid is written E260 on products sold in Europe, but is simply known as additive 260 in some countries. The additive 103, alkannin, is not approved for use in Europe and therefore does not have an E number, although it is approved for use in Australia and New Zealand. Since 1987 Australia has had an approved labeling system for additives in packaged foods. Each food additive must be named or numbered. The numbers are the same as in Europe, but without the prefix "E".
